How to use Opus
How to Use Opus AR-Enhanced Printed Materials
Experience the magic of Opus by following these simple steps to bring your book, card, brochure, or any Opus printed material to life with augmented reality (AR).
Step 1: Place Book on Any Flat Surface
Ensure that you have a stable and flat surface to place your Opus book or printed material. This will provide the best viewing experience and help the AR elements align correctly.
Step 2: Point Your Phone Camera at the Book
Open the Opus app on your smartphone. Point your phone’s camera at the book or printed material. Make sure the entire page is visible on your screen. The app will automatically recognize the page and start the AR experience.
Step 3: Watch the Page Come Alive
Once the app recognizes the page, you will see 3D animations, audio, video, and special effects come to life. Characters will move, talk, and interact just like in the story, creating an immersive experience.
Step 4: Turn the Page and Continue the Story
When you’re ready to move to the next page, simply point your phone’s camera at the center of the page you want to turn. Slowly move your phone back to get a full view of the new page. The augmented reality story will continue seamlessly.
Step 5: Repeat for All Pages
Continue this process for each page in the book. Point your camera, watch the magic unfold, turn the page, and repeat. Enjoy the interactive and immersive experience that Opus provides from start to finish.
By following these steps, you can fully enjoy the innovative and engaging world of Opus’s AR-enhanced printed materials. Happy exploring!
